The beginning of the day didn't start out too fun. Let's just say I almost threw up! We had to go the market and get fruit, vegetables, and MEAT. The meat basically is being butchered and cleaned right there. There are very many different kinds of meat so it smells awful.One of the worst things I've ever smelt, plus I had to carry a heavy bag and try not to gag watching the girl take the guts right out of the chicken and slaughter it's head off. Although I just kept thinking it's for the experience buck up and BREATHE. The kids were over joyed with just some apples, vegetables, pork, and chicken. It felt good to see how happy they were with their big smiles on their face chomping away at the food.Today at the orphanage we didn't do much at all. Read some books to the kids and gave them new clothing. Once again thanks to all who donated to my trip because without you I wouldn't be able to put the smile on their faces and give them the clothes you didn't need anymore. After our relaxing fun day at the orphanage we went on a city tour through Star Kampuchea,. our organization. We visited many things like the riverfront, National Museum, Olympic Stadium, and many more beautiful temples and such.I'm very much glad hat my Aunt Brett came out here that was just a bonus. I haven't been able to see her for two years because several years back she moved to Australia and started a new life there. When I was young and my parents went back to work she took care of me and I've been so close to her ever since. She probably is the one piece keeping me from getting homesick and I appreciate that a lot. Seeing everyone cry talking to their parent makes it depressing but they'll get through just like I've done. Can't wait to see many of you soon miss all of you bunches. I love you pumas.
